I wonder if this Sandwich Tern diving into the frigid waters off Selsey Bill this morning regretted not migrating to Africa. Mind you, it did come up with a catch.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Got to be this.

This Dark Arches was the only surprise in the trap this morning. Two Silver Ys and half a dozen Rusty Dot Pearl's were the only others of note. VC13

On the mothing front, a Feathered Ranunculus and a White-point saved the day, along with a Rusty-dot Pearl and a couple of LB Apple Moths. VC13

'Halloween' comes from All Hallows' Eve i.e. the eve of All Saints' Day, which is tomorrow. This photo was taken in my local churchyard.

The lens looks to be the Nikkor 80-200 f/4.5. A nice combination.

Nikon F is the choice of the discerning photographer in whatever version of reality we live in.

Just put the traps out with fingers crossed! Three or four bats were out already, flying around the house.

The Herring Gulls at Selsey Bill this afternoon seemed to be up for a bit of bat and ball.

Well, I did put the trap out in the porch for a few hours last night, bringing it in at 2am. Blair's Mocha and Black Rustic were the only moths of note.
